This shifter setup consists of two small button modules that each have an up and down shift button, to be placed wherever you like on your handlebar. They both control the rear derailleur, as the front derailleur was a cable shifted affair.  Think of them as the inspiration for the SRAM Blips! The long cyclinder fits inside the bar end, and houses the battery (smartly a 6v K28A camera battery that's still available today for a few dollars). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eI've included a snap of the catalog listing and a magazine review that explains the tech side of this drivetrain in the pics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eNew old stock in retail box, mint\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eIncludes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eShifter buttons (2)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eWiring harness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eBattery housing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eDowntube shifter braze on covers (one curved for steel frames, one flat for oversized tubing frames)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mavic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53536606421132,"sku":"16305","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/5144\/9740\/files\/IMG_1130__12189.1766195172.1280.1280_15c38612-5903-4370-9318-838e40f25903.jpg?v=1791052692","url":"https:\/\/swooncycles.com\/products\/nib-nos-mavic-zap-controller-set-shifter-buttons-wiring-harness-rare-1st-electronic-drivetrain-circa-1990-s","provider":"Swoon Cycles (Bike ReCyclery)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
